In a new PLoS Biology article, “The Challenge of Conserving Amphibian Megadiversity in Madagascar,” Franco Andreone et al. argue that governments and conservation organizations should invest in proactive efforts to protect amphibians in Madagascar, which harbors some of the richest groups of amphibian fauna in the world, before the populations go into decline.

The NIH public access policy goes into effect today - now all NIH funded research articles must be deposited in PubMed Central (PMC) upon publication.
